I usually don't like to cook things on the stovetop because its so messy. However I found this recipe in a magazine and it looked simple enough. It was very easy and so tasty!! The sauce was delicious, just make sure you cook it long and high enough to reduce a bit. I will definitely be making this again. Yum!Reply

Can't believe that I forgot to review this recipe right after making it, but am back here to correct that oversight! We really, really enjoyed the flavor of these chops & will definitely be making them again! And considering the previous reviewer's little problem, I strongly suggest heating the sauce for a full 8 minutes or so on the highest of high heat (which is what I did), & the sauce should be just right, in my humble opinion! Many thanks for sharing the recipe!Reply

These were tastey and the sauce made the dish. The only thing that I didn't like is that the sauce didn't thicken up like I expected. Next time I will let it cook longer and see if it will reduce more. I also put the chops back in the sauce at the end to heat and absorb the sauce. Made for PRMR.Reply
